Councilman Blewett stated that he understood Mayor Pro Tern
Kitchel had resigned due to time pressure and said that
he would like to serve on the Board of Directors due to
his interest in manpower and the Mid-Valley concept.
Mayor Pro Tern Kitchen pointed out that the Consortium meets
sometimes several times a week and demands daytime hours
and asked if there was any other Councilman who would
like to fill the other vacancy.
Discussion followed that it was probably not in the
By Laws that only elected Councilmen could serve but
that attendance was mandatory.
Councilman Blewett said there would be about $2 Million
involved and that it was important that Baldwin Park
got its fair share. He stated he knew there were
going to be several job slots in the community and it
would be incumbent upon the members from Baldwin Park
to help determine where those job slots are going to
go. Appointees should attend meetings regularly.
Councilman Hamilton said that he would serve, but could
not always attend the meetings. He suggested that
Leo King be left on the Consortium.

Robert Mitchell indicating the reasons for their dismissal
Acting City Attorney stated that he had not responded
as the letters had been addressed to the City Council
and the City Council had indicated by a majority that
they did not wish them to serve. He said there was
nothing under the law that states that a reason for
discharge be given, but that Mr. Fe.ffer is probably
entitled to the courtesy along the lines of how each
Council member voted and felt on this matter.

Director of Public Works Lathrop referred to a Traffic
Committee Report which requested red curbing of 80 feet
along the easterly curb of Syracuse Avenue south of
Ramona Boulevard, as the traffic backs up on Syracuse
Avenue due to cars parking at the curb up to the
intersection and cars are unable to approach the
intersection to turn right when cars are waiting to
turn left. The Traffic Committee recommended that
the red curbing be approved by adoption of the Resolution.

Director of Public Works Lathrop referred to a request
for approval of sidewalk construction adjacent to the
curb submitted by petition signed by alt residential
property owners on the east side of Puente Avenue south
of Howellhurst Drive. He said that last year the City
Council had established that the City should have a
policy regarding the location of sidewalks and had
directed the Planning Department and Planning Commission
to make a study of this. The study is now in progress
and will be submitted to the Council soon. He said he
would inform the property owners that at present
the City will allow them to construct sidewalks next
to the curb but that after the City Council policy is
established they may be required to construct sidewalks
also on the property line. They have been required to leave
a tree well if constructing next to the curb. He
said three property owners have since taken out permits
to construct sidewalks along the curb. He recommended
that the Council take no firm action at this time on
the location of sidewalks but that property owners
may be allowed to construct sidewalk adjacent to the
curb with the provision that they understand that
sidewalk adjacent to the property line may be required
of them following the recommendation of the Planning
Department and Planning Commission.
Councilman Hamilton said if they have room he would
be opposed to constructing sidewalk next to the curb
because it is inconvenient for people walking or
women with baby buggies.

Director of Public Works Lathrop said the property line
is either 10 or 12 feet behind the curb and that if the
sidewalk were located on the property line there would
be room to park behind it on the driveway.
Councilman Btewett agreed with Councilman Hamilton
regarding the difficulty in walking when sidewalks
are not constructed uniformly. He said he would
tike it noted by Mr. Kilgour and the Planning Commission
what the comments of the Council were and that he
thought it would be advisable to define a policy.

Director of Public Works Lathrop referred to a petition
signed by residents of Monterey'Avenue south Of Palm Avenue
regarding a walkway which extends from the cul-de-sac
at the end of the street into the school district property.
Signers of the petition are requesting that the walkway
be closed as young people using it are causing numerous
problems while passing through. The walkway is actually
a covered drainage culvert. He said that recently the
Acting Assistant City Manager Philip Sexton had talked
to representatives of the home owners and that they had
stated that they would see if they can not work out
the problem among themselves and that if they fail to
do so they will again request assistance from the City.
He said that the Staff investigating the situation
have recommended that the City assist by placing chain
link fence across the culvert between the two existing
sections of the fence, thus creating a physical barrier.
The cost of erecting the chain link fences would be
approximately $40.00.
Councilman Blewett suggested giving Mr. Lathrop carte
blanche to handle the problem in whatever manner he
deemed necessary.
Councilman Hamilton asked for clarification regarding
20 signatures on the petition which indicated to him
that the property owners were requesting a closure.
Discussion followed with Mr. Lathrop reiterating that
the homeowners will attempt to handle the problem
themselves and may be coming back for assistance
from the City.
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR WILL BE ALLOWED TO
SOLVE THE PROBLEM AS HE DEEMS NECESSARY. M/S/C: BLEWETT/
AGUILAR. There were no"objections.

of Baldwin Park for $4,937.18; and Globe Gas of Long
Beach at 27.9 cents per gallon of propane on propane
supply. He stated that Globe Gas and Empiregas of
Pomona bids were tied at 27.9 cents per gallon of
propane but Globe Gas provided for a flexible rate
based on their own actual cost and spelled it out
in detail how they would arrive at this cost,
while Empiregas left a sliding scale without the
possibility of reduction, although they talked of
passing along whatever the manufacturer would
charge them in the form of an increase. He stated
the total package amounts to $13.445 plus $806.74
for the 6% California sates tax. He requested
that the total amount of $14,252.34 be an appropriation
from the unappropriated reserve for contingency account as
the conversion system had not been considered when the budget
was prepared last year. He stated that more than this
amount can be cut from the current budget because
the projected fuel costs have been based on price
alone and just the savings between the 27.9 cents
for propane and over 60 cents per gallon that would
have to be paid for unleaded fuel for new cars is
about half. He said the fuel bill for patrol cars
alone runs about $20,000 a year. Other cities
have advised against using the dual system and the
advantage of using a total propane system is that
alt smog devices on the vehicles can be removed,
thereby boosting their power.

Chief of Police Adams referred to an Ordinance that he
said had been considered last year for adoption from the
City of Santa Ana. He stated that many cities have
since adopted the same type of Ordinance. It is an
Ordinance that makes it a misdemeanor under the Municipal
Code for anyone to knowingly and maliciously make a
false report of any employee's conduct in relation to
that complaint. He referred to the additional statement
without a reasonable belief in the truth thereof" in
the Ordinance and said that the reason it was put in
there was because the young people who make the complaints
will te11 their parents and their parents wilt come forward
with the complaint with the honest belief that their child
has been abused. He said the citizen has the protection
that they need by adding the two statements, knowingly
and maliciously" and without a reasonable belief in the
truth thereof" and so do the policemen, the Public Works
people and a11 employees of the City. He stated that if
the Ordinance is in effect, citizens will not try to
get out of criminal charges by bringing a false report
against any employee of the City.
Councilman Hamilton asked for a comment by Acting City
Attorney Ritchie about whether this was proper within the
statutes of the laws of California.

Mr. Ritchie said that in the past it was thought that Section
148.5 of the Penal Code covered everything but it didn't
and many cities have adopted this type of Ordinance. He
said he shared the Chief's concern about complaints that
are being made and the Council will have to balance the
question of unduly inhibiting the citizens in making
what they consider are valid complaints. He stated if
the'Ordinance is adopted it would have to be administered
with caution.'
Councilman Hamilton asked if a citizen would be informed
of the Ordinance if he came in to make a report.
Mr. Ritchie said if he were not informed, it would be in
violation of the Ordinance which says Every person who,
having been advised of the provisions of this section,
signs a written statement declaring the contents thereof
to be true
Councilman Aguilar inquired if a person came in and truly
believed that he had a complaint when he made it and
after an investigation it turned out that nothing really
happened would he be liable under this action?
Chief Adams said that it would be very hard to prove if
he knowingly and maliciously" brought the complaint
without knowing it to be the truth," but stated they
would probably prosecute with proof that someone had
willfully tied or been forced to lie. In the majority
of cases it is a protection for the Police Department,
and when someone comes in with the honest belief that
there has been a violation, he said they try to go back
to them and explain what really did take place and
what the findings were whether the officer was going
to be disciplined or whether they felt he was acting
within the scope of his duties so if they want to take
further action they wilt have to take it within the
civil courts.
Councilman Blewett said that he had mixed emotions,
recognizing the problems of the Police Department,
but that he hoped it would not discourage a good,
honest citizen from making a good, honest complaint.
He stated that if the Council granted the Police
Department this power they would be placing more
faith in their handling the complaint really well.
He said he would probably vote for the Ordinance
because he thought they would administer it fairly
but that it scares him if not handled properly.
Chief Adams agreed that he would be the first to ask to
rescind the Ordinance if it turned out to be a bad
Ordinance. He referred to an order he had issued
in 1974 which outlines the manner in which they will
investigate a11 citizen complaints. He said Special
Order 74-7 is in effect right now and every complaint
is investigated that comes in. He explained that
the Police Department is the department most involved
in dealing with citizens under adverse conditions
but that it could be a planning man in the field
trying to enforce a zoning ordinance or a building
inspector or any other employee of the City where
a citizen might try to get around something by
bringing a complaint against that person. He said

it was true that it would throw an extra burden on the
Police Department to make sure that each thing is done
properly. He said he must handle each complaint as it
comes in, before it is dispatched to an investigator to
follow up, and that it is important to maintain one or
two people which he presently has, to do nothing but
this type of investigation. He feels these men have
done an excellent job in cases so far and that they
have recommended that men be disciplined or that the
personnel have acted in a very proper manner and laid
out specifically why the complaint is false. He said
so far there have been no adverse problems after going
back to the person who has made the complaint and
explaining the findings. He said complaints run in
cycles and that they may get as high as 7 or 8 a
month or go a couple of months with none. He said
an investigation is conducted even if someone drops
charges after they have been made, because he wants
to know whether he has a man out there that is not
treating the citizens they way they should be treated.
Jn that case, he stated he would not file charges
under the Ordinance if he found the charges were
groundless and confirmed that in any event if any
charges were brought under the new Ordinance in his
department, they would be brought only after a decision
by Chief Adams.
Councilman Kitchel said that in this day and age there
are many forces in play that are attempting to dis-
credit the Police force to the point where they are
totally ineffective and he believes this type of
precautionary measure must be taken to protect
their rights or that of any other public official.

City Clerk Balkus stated that at the meeting of April 7,
1976 the Council made appointees to various organizations
and that Councilmen had been appointed to Civil Defense,
Area D. She said that for some years Glint Crawford had
been the Deputy and the Code reads that the City Manager
is the Director of Civil Defense and that he would have
an assistant. She suggested adoption, with this change,
of

Councilman Aguitar stated that he had been asked to
make a trip to Sacramento but that when he had asked
Mr. Sexton for an advance of $340 Mr. Sexton had said
there was no money for traveling expenses for Council-
men and that he should spend his own money and come
back and be reimbursed. He suggested having a fund
set aside for Councilmen.
Councilman Btewett said that was not entirely correct
as both Mayor Waldo and Mr. Sexton had received advances
to travel to Washington, D.C. and that Councilman Aguilar
was co-equal to them and should have been entitled to
a travel advance for City business.
Acting City Manager Sexton stated that the fund used
for this purpose contains only $500 and appears to
not be sufficient for expenditures. Occasionally it
has been necessary for City business to be carried
out on personal funds which have been reimbursed.
Director of Finance Halloway stated this fund is a Revolving
Checking Account which contains a $500 balance and is replen-
ished with' the Warrants every Council Meeting. There was
only $50 left in the fund when the travel money was
requested so a check could not be written. He said
he had discussed the matter with the auditor and he
had recommended increasing the balance of the fund,
as sometimes it is depleted when money is requested.

Council discussion followed with agreement that certain
travel is very important and that a financial burden
should not be imposed on anyone. The account had contained
$500 for years and it was decided to increase that amount
so that any employee who had prior approval from Council
to travel could receive an advance.

Councitman Blewett stated that the public relations man on
board had been requested to come back to the Council with
recommendations on a newsletter the cost breakdown and
when and how it is to be done. He said he had strong
feelings on guidelines he wanted implemented into the
newsletter to maintain its viability and not destroy
its credibility. He said the first offering of the
public relations man seemed to be more in the nature of
political buildup than straight public relations for
the City itself more for individual advancement than
City advancement. He asked when it would be brought
before the Council to establish policy.
Mayor pro tern Kitchel asked Mr. Sopicki if it would be
possible to put a newsletter proposal before the City
Council at the next regular meeting for discussion
and possible implementation of guidelines.
Councilman Btewett said that among the things he would
tike to see included in the newsletter were 1) that no
City newspaper should go out within 60 days prior to
any election within the City and a couple of other
suggestions which he would list to maintain neutrality.
Mr. Sopicki agreed to present a newsletter proposal
at the next regular City Council meeting.

Tom Carpenter, 4346 Jerry, said that in his opinion
the adoption of the Ordinance regarding the making of
false statements or reports to city officials put the
people in jeopardy and scares them off. He said that
certain Council men have been glorified in the papers;
the people have been cut down on their time to speak;
the packets have successfully been cut off and yet
the Council wants to communicate with the people. The
railing has been torn down in the Council Chambers
but he said it is all meaningless. He suggested
putting a loudspeaker out in the square and then just
letting the people listen because no matter what they
say they are paid no attention. Now with this ordinance
just rammed through, he said,everybody is being threatened
and they will just be fed the newsletter that will glorify
everyone of them and they are going to tear the City
down so low that people will have no faith in the Council
at all.
